U+70EB "烫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+70EB "烫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that means "to scald" or "to burn" and is also used in the context of "hot" or "boiling," often referring to the sensation of burning heat from liquid or steam. It is composed of the radical for fire (火) on the left and the phonetic component 汤 (tāng) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation as "tàng" in Mandarin Chinese. This character appears in everyday vocabulary related to cooking, injury, or temperature, such as in the word 烫伤 (tàngshāng) for "scald" or 烫发 (tàngfà) for "hair perm," and it is encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block.
